Which statement correctly describes an atom of the element helium? (9)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Luden [163]3 years ago
8 0

C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.

What is an example of equilibrium?
frez [133]

A good example of equilibrium would be the mixing of oil and water in a closed container.

<h3>What is chemical equilibrium?</h3>

Chemical equilibrium is a condition in which the concentrations of components of a chemical reaction remain unchanged and have no tendency to change.

Of all the options, the only one where the concentrations of the component reactants cannot change is a mixture containing oil and water in a closed container.

Oil and water are immiscible and thus, their concentrations remain constant.

A hot lump of 39.9 g of iron at an initial temperature of 78.1 °C is placed in 50.0 mL H 2 O initially at 25.0 °C and allowed to
Drupady [299]

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture is 29.6^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of iron = 0.499J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of iron = 39.9 g

m_2 = mass of water  = Density\times Volume=1g/mL\times 50.0mL=50.0g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of iron = 78.1^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 25.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

(39.9g)\times (0.499J/g^oC)\times (T_f-78.1)^oC=-(50.0g)\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_f-25.0)^oC

T_f=29.6^oC

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is 29.6^oC

Which piece of the planetary object data could be used to decide if there actually is a solid surface to land on?
zloy xaker [14]
A planetary surface is where the solid (or liquid) material of the outer crust on certain types of astronomical objects contacts the atmosphere or outer space. Planetary surfaces are found on solid objects of planetary mass, including terrestrial planets (including Earth), dwarf planets, natural satellites, planetesimals and many other small Solar System bodies (SSSBs).[1][2][3] The study of planetary surfaces is a field of planetary geology known as surface geology, but also a focus of a number of fields including planetary cartography, topography, geomorphology, atmospheric sciences, and astronomy. Land (or ground) is the term given to non-liquid planetary surfaces. The term landing is used to describe the collision of an object with a planetary surface and is usually at a velocity in which the object can remain intact and remain attached.

In differentiated bodies, the surface is where the crust meets the planetary boundary layer. Anything below this is regarded as being sub-surface or sub-marine. Most bodies more massive than super-Earths, including stars and gas giants, as well as smaller gas dwarfs, transition contiguously between phases, including gas, liquid, and solid. As such, they are generally regarded as lacking surfaces.

Planetary surfaces and surface life are of particular interest to humans as it is the primary habitat of the species, which has evolved to move over land and breathe air. Human space exploration and space colonization therefore focuses heavily on them. Humans have only directly explored the surface of Earth and the Moon. The vast distances and complexities of space makes direct exploration of even near-Earth objects dangerous and expensive. As such, all other exploration has been indirect via space probes.

Indirect observations by flyby or orbit currently provide insufficient information to confirm the composition and properties of planetary surfaces. Much of what is known is from the use of techniques such as astronomical spectroscopy and sample return. Lander spacecraft have explored the surfaces of planets Mars and Venus. Mars is the only other planet to have had its surface explored by a mobile surface probe (rover). Titan is the only non-planetary object of planetary mass to have been explored by lander. Landers have explored several smaller bodies including 433 Eros (2001), 25143 Itokawa (2005), Tempel 1 (2005), 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (2014), 162173 Ryugu (2018) and 101955 Bennu (2020). Surface samples have been collected from the Moon (returned 1969), 25143 Itokawa (returned 2010), 162173 Ryugu and 101955 Bennu.

WILL GIVE 50 POINTS FOR ALL ANSWERS!!! PLEASE HELP!
blondinia [14]

Answer:

the answer would be (A.) and (D.).

Explanation:

the reason for that being is because if calcium sulfate is a main component of plaster of  paris you would need to find out what is in it that makes it the main component aka (the formula) therefore part of the answer is (A.). The other part of the answer was (D.) because you would need to find the amount of calcium sulfate that contain 12 grams of oxegeon atoms because you finding the answer to that could lead to the answer of what is the main component of plaster of Paris.
